Why Spiders Come Inside

Spiders are arachnids, and they feed on insects. You will most often find their webs in quiet, undisturbed locations. When in your home, you are likely to find them in corners, behind shelving, in boxes, and under furniture. They are also often found in attics and crawlspaces. Outside, you may find them in your eaves, roof, garages, garden sheds, and woodpiles.

Tennessee is home to many different species of spiders. Two of the most well-known spiders are the black widow and the brown recluse. The black widow is recognized by its black, round body with a red hourglass marking on its abdomen. Brown recluse spiders are typically a solid, brown color with no markings.

Common House Spiders In Tennessee:

  • Black widow
  • Brown recluse
  • Cellar spider
  • House spider
  • Jumping spider
  • Orb-weaver
  • Wolf spider
  • Zipper spider

It is some comfort to know that these common house spiders in Tennessee are not generally aggressive. In fact, most spiders will not bite you unless they are provoked. This includes black widow and brown recluse spiders, two of the most notorious poisonous spiders. Additionally, black widows and brown recluses are not often found inside the home as they prefer living outside. They are more likely found in woodpiles or garden sheds. However, this doesn't mean that an infestation should go unchecked. If you see spiders in your home, especially poisonous ones, you should call our Knoxville spider control team right away.

What Is The Most Common Spider In Your House?

Wolf spiders are one of the most common home spiders in Tennessee. One thing that differentiates wolf spiders from other spiders is they don't spin webs. They hide and stalk prey. Wolf spiders are very fast for spiders. They can live anywhere and are most commonly found in garages, woodlands, gardens, under rocks, piles of trash, and grassy fields or lawns.

Because of their size, wolf spiders are often mistaken for tarantulas. While their appearance can be similar, they are actually much smaller than tarantulas. Wolf spiders can bite, and they do produce venom that will cause redness, swelling, itchiness, and some pain.

If you find wolf spiders have already invaded your home, it's probably a safe bet you don't want to keep them there. The most effective way to keep wolf spiders from your home is through home pest control services from the professionals at Pest-Ops, LLC. Our team of experts are well trained and has a knowledge of where these specific pests can live and how they can get inside. You can count on us to help keep all the common house spiders of Tennessee out of your home year-round.

How To Get Rid Of Spiders

While spiders do a lot of good for the environment, and they help keep the insect population in check, they do not belong in our homes. While most household spiders are not poisonous to humans, their bites can cause severe reactions to those who are allergic. They can also be a danger to our pets. There are steps you can take to protect yourself from spiders, and to make your home less appealing to them.

To prevent a spider infestation, you can:

  • Keep your home clear of clutter
  • Dust and vacuum regularly
  • Remove spider webs whenever you encounter them
  • Make sure your doors and windows are screened and sealed
  • Keep woodpiles and other similar areas clear of debris

To protect yourself from spider bites you should:

  • Always look in boxes before sticking your hands in them
  • Shake out jackets and clothes before putting them on
  • Be careful when working in garages, attics, basements, and garden sheds
  • Check gloves and shoes before putting them on

If you are seeing a lot of spiders or webs in your home, you should call an experienced spider control expert, like ours in Knoxville. We will identify what is drawing them in and provide you with effective spider removal services.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"We started using Pest Ops last year and we love them! We had a terrible issue with spiders since we have woods 15 feet outside our back door. After the first treatment we saw an immediate difference. We also used to have a terrible time with centipedes, earwigs, and silverfish inside the house, but we rarely see them anymore even though the only treatment we get is for the outside of the home. Pest Ops is also affordable! Lastly our specialist that comes out is personable and always pays attention to the details. Thank you for all you do!!!."
